5 Mistakes to Avoid When Taking Out Student Loans
1. Failing to exhaust free money first. Loans are not free money. They must be repaid, usually with interest. Every dollar borrowed will cost about two dollars by the time the debt is repaid in full. Focus instead on gift aid, such as grants and scholarships. Then, consider money that is earned, such as student employment, education awards for volunteer service, employer tuition assistance, and military student aid.

does this car have any problems?
Last week and for this next week, I am the night float on our service. I do the work of 3 people, except at night. My life is totally nocturnal–I sleep during the days and am totally awake all through the nights. I do this everyday. One of the problems with night float is that you cover many patients, normally covered by multiple people during the day. In my case, I am covering over 4o patients during the night that are normally taken care of by 3 people during the day. Of course, the night isn’t as busy as the day–not as much stuff can get done during the night. Unfortunately tho...
